Since 2010 a potential analysis has been a firm component of the vocational orientation programme of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Having been embedded in major national and federal-state programmes, competence assessment has now reached a large number of school pupils. As yet, however, the effects of such methods have not yet been systematically documented in the context of early vocational orientation, and the function and objectives have not been clearly defined. The article sets out the challenges that arise for the instrument of potential analysis in this unresolved area.
